Assistantships & Scholarships

Assistantships

In rare cases, students may be asked to do assistantships at EGS. The money awarded will be credited toward students' tuition. Assistantships will be based on the needs of the school and the abilities of the student.

Matching Grants

A limited amount of money will be available for matching grants. Students can apply for matching grants up to a specified amount. The grants will be awarded on the basis of need and availability of funds. Students must raise the money for the matching grant specifically for this purpose and according to the rules of the "matching grant regulations". A plan should be submitted to the local representative who will send a recommendation to the school for approval.

Scholarships

Scholarship money toward research projects of interest to the school will be awarded on the basis of merit. Students with outstanding potential for contributing to the field will be recommended for scholarships by their advisor. The amount of the scholarship awarded will depend on the number of students recommended and the financial resources of the institution.
